implementation and enforcement of the nurse practice act but not
charged with writing the law.

board of nursing, but are not involved in writing nursing practice
acts.

nursing or state boards of nurse examiners (state administrative
agencies) to implement and enforce those acts.

nurse practice acts, but they cannot do so independently.
